The Awa headpiece is a sculptural headpiece created in a metallic crinoline with curving lines and tapered ends. This style is one-size-fits-all and is secured in place with a wire headband, an elastic that sits at the back of the head, and two small combs on the head.
Designed as part of the Above the Clouds collection, this headpiece was created with race days in mind but transitions beautifully to weddings, garden parties, and special events.
Each piece is handcrafted by Lauren J Ritchie in her studio within the historic Manchester Unity Building on Melbourne’s prestigious Collins Street. With worldwide shipping available, these signature designs bring a touch of Melbourne sophistication to every corner of the globe.
Pieces can be tailored to your unique Racing Style and is available in a wide range of colours to suit your outfit.
